Grande Grischa! Perfect attitude in the car to complement Vingegaard.
Indeed. Great stuff from Grischa, but he will have his work cut out this year.

Maybe it will be a case Matteo Jorgensen showing the world....

Season two and here I am again wondering why anyone would bother watching that trash
Because it's a fun watch? I'm really looking forward to the new season, especially since UAE is also participating in this one. Hearing Pogacar and Urska talk about their reactions to JV stomping Pog in the final TT in that trailer is good stuff.

I know. I was just giving my own opinion on it in a slightly douchey way.

Two episodes in and so far it's really good, better than last year. I find the best way to watch it is in the original French version with English subtitles, but most of it is in English. It is just wrong to hear some random dudes voice in English over Jillian Alaphilippe (for example).

Last year's tour was really something.

Ok can anyone explain the following: In episode one there's a scene where they tell Ben O'Connor that Gino died. How do they do that? Do they record the scene after the event and it's all fake or do they actually bring cameraman to break this news to him? I really can't decide which of those options I find more disturbing and I'm kind of hoping there's another explanation...

They had cameraman with them at pre-tour altitude camps so I assume he broke it there and then. Absolutely morbid stuff.

I'm 2 episodes in and it seems the entire documentary is following Ben O'Connor around in his hunt for a valiant top-17.

The episodes in: The Hindley O'connor storyline is pretty cringe. The latter is also incredibly unlikeable. Cant get worse from here on out tbh.
I had no idea he was like that. So jealous... I found myself skipping the video by 10 seconds increments to get through that ****.

They talk so much about O'Connor that I'm wondering if AG2R paid to get so much attention.
It's a French production, so there is a fair bit of attention on French teams. Luckily for me as an aussie, an aussie happens to lead one, I sense we will get a fair bit of Pinot as well.

Last year we got zero Pogi so it's already better!

2 episodes in so far.
I understand that they build up a lot around crashes because it catches the excitment of the masses and highlighting it with for example Carapaz where the whole season goes down the drain in the first stage is fine. But using Gino Maders death like they did feels proper tasteless, who the hell thought it would be a fantastic idea to give O'Connor the information of his death with a camera there?

Seeing Belgian Pozzato rage again was great haha, I can't believe Vingegaard was actually so nice to shoulder some fault, he didn't do anything wrong, proper ridiculous.

AG2R coverage can feck off, just like last year the worst parts by some distance, Jurdie makes me want to throw my laptop out of the window and O'Connor also comes across as a spoiled child. Who the hell thought it was a good idea to make half an episode about a non-existent "Australian" battle.

Steve Cummings is pretty laid back and cool but I always knew that

Jai Hindly : F**k Ineos ...he must have been reading this forum

I won't watch this overdramatised nonsense for noobs , but it's good the message gets out to the world the kind of people that philipson, Belge pozzato and O'Conner are.

Yes, not sure why Ben O’Connor has received so much attention in both seasons. He is fascinating, though. Seemingly zero attempt to make himself look cool or likable.

Having said that, I don’t care what y’all say; this is great. Way better than just some canned interviews. Primoz: “We try hard? Eh?” Come on. Give me Ben O’Connor airing his petty angst any day.

Of course, O'Connor would be unhappy that Hindley would be gifted time aided and abetted by his team AGR2. They are both Australian, come from the same state in Perth and are competitive against each other.
